Welcome  

Kiwanis Club of the Gold Country

Serves . . . . .

Western Nevada County through community service projects in support of our youth, senior citizens, and the community at large.

Fund Raising . . . . .

Our major fund raising project is a food booth at the Nevada County Fair as well as the Draft Horse Classic. In addition, we launched a new fund raising project in 2007 - the Kiwanis Beach Party, presented for the first time, and very successfully, on November 9, 2007. The Second Annual Kiwanis Beach Party is scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2008 at the Miners Foundry in Nevada City.

Our newest fund raiser is the Kiwanis Doll Project. Click on the link to the left of this page for full details of this new and exciting project.

Service Projects . . . . .

In addition to our support of three Key Clubs, one at each of our local high schools, we also stage a Kiwanis Back-to-School project where almost 60 elementary school students are assisted with their back to school needs. This project is co-sponsored by K-Mart.

We also support a variety of other community service projects through the activities of our Team One committee, including a very successful pediatric trauma and child car seat replacement program.

New for 2008 is the Kiwanis Hospital Doll Project. Check out the details by clicking on the link above.

Our Goal . . .

We have barely enough members to successfully support the projects we are currently working on but not enough to do what we would like to do for our community.

It's Your Choice . . .

"Private choices are not private;  they all have public consequences.  Our society is the sum total of what millions of individuals do in their private lives. That sum total of private behavior has worldwide public consequences of enormous magnitude. There are no completely private choices." 

James E. Faust - 1987
